[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s crazy that the police brought them home. I don’t think this is nearly the big deal people are making it out to be, other than going to the park at 10 was a dumb idea.[/quote]

This.  It's overzealous policing.  Police stopped and picked up kids for walking around?  That's ridiculous.  What law was broken?  Even the ding dong ditch - someone called the cops?  Because of . . . why exactly?

That said, even though it was an overreaction, because the police were involved you need to let the other parents know immediately.

And where do you live, OP, that people would open fire because of this?

As an aside, the kids obviously are white, because otherwise we'd be reading about this in the paper, and a few of them would be dead.

Totally agree with everything here.  We did far worse things in middle and high school and we all turned out to be well functioning and law abiding adults. 
[b]Is ding, dong, ditch a crime in some jurisdictions?  [/b]

Also, remind your kids that a lot of people have Ring doorbells so they are likely going to get caught.

Yes.  Probably not in OP’s since the kids weren’t charged, but it is illegal in some areas.[/quote]
